Based on blockchain.com, https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/12ib7dApVFvg82TXKycWBNpN8kFyiAN1dr?page=5, it appears that the address has been consistently receiving btc for the past couple of years so even if you miraculously have found the private key, the account may have some kind of purpose- I have no clue what it is, maybe a burner address or some unconcerned billionaire's long term savings.
